1. Following the feedback from my supervisor 100 % – I will copy it below soon.
2. Reading the attached documents (my failed version of the interview guide + research proposal) and understanding them thoroughly before you bid. In particular, it is important to read my research proposal in order to understand my research . The interview guide must address my research aims and questions.
3. Being very confident about this task. Please read everything carefully and only bid when you are familiar and comfortable with my request. This is a task from my research project at the Master’s degree level so it is only suitable for excellent writers who have enough knowledge and experience in the area of research. Particularly, it is vital to know the difference between structured, semi-structured and unstructured interviews as my Interview Guide has been written regarding semi-structured interviews. I really want to pass it this time so there is a certain level of responsibility that rests on the writer.
4. Sticking to the deadline. Please note that I’m not able to offer an extension so it is vital you complete the task in a timely manner. It’s not a lot of time but an excellent writer familiar with the field and comfortable with the task should be able to handle this without any difficulties.
5. No in-text or end references are required here. The required font is Times New Roman, 12, double spaced.
MY SUPERVISOR’S FEEDBACK (MUST BE ADDRESSED):
This is better, but I still think it is too many questions. I would rather put these kinds of questions:
1. Could you tell me a little about yourself? Who you are, background and what studies you have been engaged in?
2. Can you tell me about your studies during the Covid 19?
3. Can you tell me a bit about the positive sides as well as downsides with online learning?
And so on.
And then I would add some notes to myself after each question with items that I hope that the interviewee will elaborate on based on my questions. And then you can tick off these while the interviewee answers your question -and if something is not covered, go back and ask specifically about that.
I think you should have 3-4 areas you want to cover. For each area, 1 main question like the examples I provided – a question that opens up the topic and lets the interviewer elaborate.
After each main question put those items you wish to cover, e.g. under the first question add items such as name, work experience, previous education and so on. This is just to remind you what things you want to tick off when the person elaborates on the main question. And if something is not covered, just ask them the appropriate question. Or under the main question about their studies during the pandemic add e.g. items such as positive aspects of digital learning, negative aspects of digital learning and so on.
